Lesley University

It's a very okay school. I would give it a C+ grade, mostly because of the environment and social life. If you are a commuter who does not live near Lesley, it is VERY difficult to socialize with people outside of class. Literally all the student activities are on the same day and time. All the clubs meet at 8pm, and if you have class that ends at 12pm, it makes absolutely no sense to wait for hours just to be part of a club. So, the students are very clicky and not as friendly. Also, the classes are super packed!!! One of the reasons why I transferred to Lesley from a community college was because I wanted to be in small sized classes, but all the classes I have had are crammed. The classroom sizes are very small and students will be tightly sitting next to each other, with no personal space. The facilities are pretty gross. Most classrooms are old and falling apart. Especially the bathrooms are super gross. The food is also disgusting. Even their healthy foods, like vegan and vegetarian dishes, are poorly made and entirely flavorless. However, if you are just looking to get a degree here (and don't actually care too much about socializing and the nasty facilities), then it is worth it to come here if you want to major in education, art, or the human services degrees such as psychology, counseling, art therapy, etc… The professors are, as a whole, pretty good. They are happy to help students and are approachable. The thing I like about Lesley is that they have a great internship program that they help you apply for, and they also have the career resource center with staff that helps the students write resumes and cover letters when applying for job. So, that's about it.
